NOAA CoastWatch provides (mask-applied) global, 11km, Level 3, Standard Mapped Image (SMI), 4km, daytime SST data from NASA's Aqua Spacecraft. This is 8-day composite data. Measurements are gathered by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) carried aboard the spacecraft. This is Science Quality data. This is the August 2015 version of this dataset.
